Does the size of a cars wheels make any difference to its mpg?

Kinda-sorta. Small changes are OK, but mess with the wheel size enough and the load on the engine will change(it'll be like driving in the wrong gear) which will hurt the MPG. Also, you don't want to go crazy wide either, as that will affect rolling resistance. With higher rolling resistance you get lower MPG.
